I'm probably dumb and wrong, but I feel like Firefox is going in a bad direction along with Ubuntu.
Like I think in 10 years there will be a business tier paid Ubuntu OS that ships with Firefox, and after like 3 or 4 iterations, it will be the IE of the future.
Current Firefox user. Writing is on the wall. Looking for new browser. And OS.
What writing?
I would love that future, to be honest. Currently, Chromium based browsers have no serious competition. Worst case, we can (and have already) forked Firefox (e.g. to Librewolf).
Which browser do you recommend?
Lynx /s
This comment was written through Lynx. No, seriously.

Post "https://./pictrs/image": dial tcp: lookup . on 8.8.8.8:53: no such host.But anyway:
Oh man, that brings me back. Lynx was really important back when GPU support for Linux was less good.
Much time was spent navigating NVIDIA Website in Lynx trying different driver versions. Then the autogenerated Xorg.conf would always be wrong. Kids these days have it so easy. Get off my lawn.
(Seriously though, I like this strange new world where Linux is super easy to set up)
Out of all people here to ask that question to, you chose the worst one.
Seriously, what made you decide that what they said makes them a good person to answer any question at all?
What makes you say that? I only switched to it recently
